But I must admit, when I stumbled across the combination of dark chocolate and blueberries in these Dark Chocolate Blueberry Muffins, I was skeptical. Chocolate? ... Yes. Blueberries? ... Yes. Together in a muffin? ... I wasn't sure.

But given these are two of my absolute favorite things, I just had to give the combination a try.

And you know what?

Dark Chocolate Blueberry Muffins are really good!

The flavors of chocolate and blueberry truly compliment each other well. And the jolts of juicy blueberries in every bite make these muffins super moist.

I love that these muffins include chopped dark chocolate in the batter. The chopped chocolate melts right into the cooked muffin, making it super moist and super chocolatey. It's sooooo good!

I did wonder, though, if semi-sweet chocolate chips would work instead of the chopped dark chocolate. So I tried it, of course. Well, it works ... but it's not nearly as good. The chocolate chips keep much of their shape inside the cooked muffins instead of melting into the cooking batter liked the chopped chocolate.

So instead of a smooth, super moist, richly-chocolatey muffin experience - you get a little-less moist, little-less rich crumb with a hunk of chocolate in the bite. All-in-all, not bad ... just not as good as the original chopped chocolate version.

Hee! I actually made these muffins for the Challenge, but my pics looked awful, so we ate all of the muffins and then I ended up using a different recipe. At any rate, these muffins are FABULOUS! I am so glad that you shared them--your photos turned out great! =)

I just had to check this one out as soon as I saw it. So glad you tried the chips, that was my first thought, I'll be sure to use the chopped chocolate when I make these (and I will be making these.) Great choice!
